In the context of climate change, sowing date and cultivar choice can influence productivity sorghum, especially where production is constrained by low soil fertility early terminal drought across challenging agro-ecologies north-eastern Nigeria. Planting within an optimal window to fit cultivar’s maturity length critical for maximizing/increasing crop yield following appropriate climate-smart ...

in order to investigate the effects of different levels of nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers on flower yield , yield components and some quality components of german chamomile, a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out in the medicinal plant research farm of shirvan college of agriculture during growing season of 2007-2008. nitr...

durum wheat due to its quality is an important crop in feeding and economics. saji is a newly released durum wheat cultivar with a mean yield of 2824 kgha-1 which was higher than the two durum wheat (zardak) and bread wheat (sardari) check cultivars in different yield traits conducted during 2000-2008 cropping seasons in iran. its grain yield was 23% and 11% higher than those of zardak and sard...

in order to produce new hybrids and evaluate the general and specific combining ability of sunflower inbred lines and restorers, four inbred lines and six restorers were selected in 2004. twenty-four f1 hybrids were derived in 2004 and evaluated on a rcbd design with three replications in 2005. the results of variance analysis showed that treatments were significantly different for all traits e...

Castor is one of neglected African oil crops with little research attention in Nigeria. In the present research, eighty-six castor genotypes were evaluated at three locations in Niger State, Nigeria. The aim was to estimate the extent of genetic variability and also to examine the associations among the seed yield and its components. The treatments were laid out in an Alpha Lattice Design with ...
